Had a great time hanging out with my buddies at Cabarrus County Animal Shelter this afternoon. Pete is one of my new canine buddies. Gorgeous, but way more importantly, gentle, calm, and a pleasure to walk. If any sled dog lovers out there are looking to add to their family, PLEASE take a look at Pete on the shelter's site!

❤Proud Trainer Moment!❤
An actual text I received over the weekend, name changed to protect the innocent. 😂
Teaching your dog to ENJOY coming to you can save his life...literally! Leashes and collars break. Doors and gates get (accidentally) left open. It does not have to induce panic in the humans involved. It can be "no big deal".

Pictures never do it justice, but had to at least try to get a shot of the sunrise colors reflected in the steamy pond during this morning's chilly farm stroll. Happy Weekend, Fido Family and YAY for Fall!🍁🍂🍁🍂

Working "off-leash" isn't magic or an arbitrary indication that you have "arrived" as an owner or trainer. I'd rather people think along the lines of answering the question "what will my dog do WHEN I accidentally drop the leash some day while out on a walk?". People and dogs are all individuals with different comfort levels. Be safe, try not to feel pressured by what you see others doing, AND have fun with your Fido!
